Joe Bastardi has been calling it the polar vortex and he’s pretty reliable in my book.
Here in a couple of days we’re supposed to get up near 40 degrees during the day which is just fine with me.
Yep. His dad was a meteorologist at Texas A&M...and so Joe B has probably been talking about the polar vortex as long as he could walk.
The polar vortex has been spoken about in meteorologist circles for longer than JB's been alive. I guess my problem with the article was the statement it was created by the left. That of course is not true. That would be like saying the left created a cat 5 hurricane because the media is talking about it.
What really happened is the media has finally figured out there is such a thing and is looking for a way to explain the cold in a way that suits their agenda. If they haven't heard the phrase before...and if Rush hasn't...its just ignorance on their part (and we are all ignorant about some things...I don't know French...so).
